The Force Awakens Hasbro's Star Wars Toy Line

A few weeks ago A Geek Daddy received a message from Hasbro asking me to choose a side in the Star Wars saga ... would I select the Light Side or choose the path of the Dark Side? That was a tough choice but in the end I couldn't resist the lure of the Dark Side with its gleaming white stormtroopers, evil Sith warriors and cool bounty hunters. #ChooseDarkSide I did!

Hasbro followed up my response by sending a mysterious package my way. Of course my kids and I couldn't wait to open it up! What could be inside? The box was filled with a preview of Hasbro's new toys based upon the upcoming Star Wars sequel THE FORCE AWAKENS. Based upon the path, I had chosen Hasbro provided a sample of toys that would help our family crush The Resistance in the name of The First Order! So let's take a look at the Dark Side of Hasbro's new lineup of Star Wars toys that were included in our #ChooseDarkSide mailing.
